TEACHER J\ - iJi-k. ... ^ .. - Picture of Health and Happiness It's no accident that poor health, maladjustment, absenteeism and the develop• ment of poor vision are kept at a minimum in this classroom. It's the result of overcoming poor lighting—the biggest single cause of all these problems. When you consider the fact that vision is involved in 80 percent of all learning and that a student spends over half his waking hours in school, you begin to realize how important good lighting is. What is good lighting.' The experts say: "... daylight that is controlled and distributed evenly, without glare, throughout a room. The glare of direct sunlight is as damaging to visual ability as not enough light." To give good lighting, PC Glass Blocks not only diffuse the direct rays of sunlight. prisms inside the blocks direct light to every corner of the room (seeillustration). The result: glare free brightness forevery student in the room. From a money-saving viewpoint, PC Glass Blocks are easier to clean, require no maintenance and their high insulating performance cuts heating costs. , For more details on how your school can benefit from this new kind of window, -PIEASE PRINT • mail this coupon to-day.

  • Executive Summary
    MANAGEMENT REPORT Date: November 17, 2015 Stephanie Kripps, Acting Coordinator, Policy and Planning Author: Daphne Wood, Director, Planning and Organizational Development Phone No.: 604-331-3838 VanDocs#: DOC/2015/353255 Meeting Date: November 25, 2015 TO: Library Board FROM: Sandra Singh, Chief Librarian SUBJECT: Summer of Learning 2015 - Evaluation Executive Summary The Summer of Learning pilot program, initiated by Vancouver Learning City and organized by Vancouver Public Library, was conceived and intended to enrich Vancouver by creating increased awareness of non-formal and informal lifelong learning opportunities throughout the city during the summer. While initially raised as a concept through earlier discussions amongst Learning City partners, this project was aligned with the City of Vancouver’s Healthy City Strategy in which the Summer of Learning was identified as a 2015 action under the Lifelong Learning Goal. The Summer of Learning was intended to serve as a lifelong learning promotion during summer months, engaging the community broadly in interesting and unexpected learning activities across platforms, organizations, and activities. The program aimed to promote non-formal learning through the offerings of a wide range of community organizations and also to make obvious the unintentional ways we learn informally throughout our day through interactions with other community members and even community spaces. Rather than program entirely new activities, partner organizations were invited to align their existing planned programs and activities for the summer under the Summer of Learning banner. Such alignment would amplify their existing efforts by integrating them with a larger DOC/2015/353255 Page 1/31 community promotion. That noted, new program ideas were encouraged should organizations have capacity.
